Picked up the Ferrari this morning - looks awesome! Obviously with the age of the model, the lack of box, and the fact it has been stored in a loft means one or two of the decals are a little scuffed. Nothing I can't fix very easily though!

I paid £30 cash for it. I think thats a reasonable price!?

The guy I got it from also told me he has a boxed Irvine 1996 1:18 Ferrari 310 high nose up there. If I wanted it, it was mine. More or less the same money, and would ring me when he found it.

What's the going rate in the uk for 1/43 minichamps? My local shop sells them at between $70-$90aud.Bit steep fora small model I think! Always see how cheap they are on eBay... Think we are getting ripped off over here!

And I landed the Fisichella B199 Benetton for $25 including shipping. Model has accumulated dust but I'll be ready with my cotton buds and alcohol! Now waiting on more auctions to come to a close in the next few days.

I don't normally buy new models, but imported this one from Germany to add to my World Champions Collection. This one cost me just over £35, which I don't think is bad for a new model with the current World Champ in. I have all of them going back to 1994, but missing Ferraris from 2004 and 2007.

I keep meaning to cut down my collection, but I also added a Jordan EJ12 and EJ13 over the weekend
